Last week in science, we finished the meiosis unit. Then it was on to DNA. We started with some notes and awesome discussions. This week we will see how DNA replicates and create a model of DNA with some licorice and marshmallows!

AGAIN....If the kids use their class time wisely this week, there should not be much homework. I would appreciate it if parents would take a look through and discuss the last 6-7 pages (up through pg 65) of their INBs with their kids. .

Reminder: the planner, text book pages, instructional videos, handouts, and copies of the notes can also be found on my website.

How to study:

1. Teach someone else the concepts

2. Go through the textbook paragraph by paragraph with sticky notes

3. Look at the questions in the text book (at the end of each section and chapter)

4. Repetition of your Cornell notes

5. Re-watch the instructional videos

6. Explore more videos that pertain to the concepts

7. Make a practice test for study-buddy

8. Flash Cards

9. Create Mnemonic devices

10. Ask questions!

Student of the Week: Daisy D.

I have been so impressed with Daisy and her drive to earn good marks in my class these last few weeks. She even scored 100% on her Meiosis quiz! In class, Daisy goes the extra mile to make sure she has things right before she turns them in. She is not afraid to raise her hand and ask a clarifying question almost on a daily basis! Thanks Daisy, and keep the great work!

Quiz Your KID!!

Go through the INB and talkabout the work they have completed up through INB pages 65.Have your child teach you the definitions and give examples:
